No Limits Outdoors Career of Aiken Aviatrix Marilyn Riviere
Aiken Kiwanis heard Marilyn Riviere recount a lifelong aviation journey from prewar flying lessons to becoming the world’s first female helicopter pilot. She taught Army recruits in Minnesota and Navy pilots in Maryland, cropp-dusted Delaware, and flew solo with only her dog and a record player for company. She declined a space program invitation in the 1960s citing her family.

The L Reactor shutdown in 1968 and renewed push in 1980 under a presidential order to boost plutonium production led DOE to restart studies. Senate Armed Services hearings in February examined environmental impacts, followed by a 50 day scoping and four more hearings. The final EIS is slated for late 1983 to early 1984 with a potential 30 day draft review.
